On Seeing Lebron v. Wade Live 4 comments
My first live Lebron game wasn’t supposed to be like this. I wasn’t supposed to wake up to a rainy Monday morning in New York. My American Airlines flight to Miami flight wasn’t supposed to be delayed almost two hours. I wasn’t supposed to be pulled off the line for a “random” TSA search. I [...]

Podcast Episode 4, Pt. I: Washington’s Dilemma: To Void or Not to Void Leave a comment
In this episode Dax and Mark get into a fierce debate about Gilbert’s contract situation. Will the NBA follow the NFL’s punishment protocol? How will the league’s “double jeopardy” policy impact the arbitrator? Do the Wizards really want to cut their soon-to-be former star loose for nothing in return? All sorts of issues are at play, just [...]
Stack and Steph Find Work 3 comments
What do two out of work 30 something players who made a combined four trips to the NBA All-Star game but more than $225,000,000 in salary over the course of their distinguished (but by no means remarkable) careers have in common? They both agreed to contracts this past weekend that will pay them a fraction [...]
All Vince’s Fault…Again? Leave a comment
After watching Orlando fall 26-15 against Los Angeles last night, I found myself asking the question that’s been surfacing of late: Is Vince to blame for the Magic’s struggles? The consensus opinion seems to be yes. The Orlando Magic aren’t the same team this season and much of the finger pointing is being aimed at [...]

Podcast Episode 3, Pt. II: What’s Next for CP3 and D-Will? Leave a comment
Does Deron Williams have it in him to step out of John Stockton’s shadow and become the leader Utah needs to advance? Will history measure Chris Paul by his ability to create a supporting cast that shines? And can either of them live up to the hype machine’s lofty standards before its focus turns to [...]
Podcast Episode 3, Pt I: The Sad Saga of Jayson Williams Leave a comment
Eight years ago Jayson Williams was on top of the world. Then he went on trial for the shooting death of his limo driver. Although he initially managed to avoid jail time, his life took a hauntingly tragic turn for the worse. On the heels of a year in which he was tasered by NYPD, attempted [...]
Givin’ the Centers Some Love Leave a comment
For the second year in a row New Yorkers are holding out hope that David Lee will get an All-Star nod. In a recent blog post Howard Beck makes a compelling case for Lee that centers on the center’s improved shooting range: Lee has made 63 shots in the 16- to 23-foot range, tying him [...]
Like any respectable NBA enthusiast I pay attention to the All-Star conversation. Without question, the top stories this year have been Allen Iverson and Tracy McGrady. Up until the final hours of fan voting both players looked like starters despite their un-All-Star like play. Steve Nash ultimately “overtook” the inactive McGrady (thus avoiding real embarrassment), [...]
